Kids love using their hands to create things. Gardening is very interactive and engaging activity that excites kids to not only learn more about healthy fresh foods but actually cook and eat them! What better way to show kids how much fun fresh foods are then by letting them plant a garden. It can be as simple as one plant in a single pot or a full designated garden onsite. Either way, kids will enjoy seeing the "fruits" of their labor. Make healthy foods and nutrition fun for kids to learn about.

We have created some special learning and activity pages to prepare kids for a garden program. Begin your garden class by teaching kids what parts of a plant can be eaten and how to take care of their plants. It is also important to review rules in the garden to prevent injury and promote a safe environment. See all our nutrition education printables for preschool and elementary school children!

Gardening with kids is a great way to encourage children to learn about healthy foods and where they come from. Encourage children to become little gardeners with our Green Thumb Certificate for children.
